16yo female, it started with thumping in my temples after walking up stairs and has progressed to a 24/7 headache today is the 12th day I've had it, it hurts both sides mostly at the front of my face and around the right side of my head. It is a pressure like pain which sometimes becomes sharp and radiates around my head. It is made worse by standing up/movement and nothing eases the pain although prodeine forte (prescrip pain med) is giving me some relief. I believe I may be experiencing a side affect of oratane medication used for acne treatment (same as roaccutane) and haven't been able to see my dermatologist (on leave) so I've been to the doc x2 and ER, but they haven't been able to help beside give pain meds. I have stopped taking the oratane, haven't been able to attend school in the last few days or do any exercise and I am constant pain, any ideas or advice would be appreciated :)

Probably should go back to the doctor and insist they do an MRI. 12 day headache is def. not normal.

Did the headaches start before or after the chest pains?

Given your health concerns, it would be unwise to diagnose on the internet and it is impossible to do so. You should be seeing a medical professional if you are having this many issues with your physical health.

The chest pains was like 2 years ago now so that's not a problem anymore, when I go to the doctors they don't really have any knowledge on oratane/roaccutane side effects the only person I can speak to is my dermatologist but his not here, I tried to speak to a derm from a another hospital but of course we can't because of the waiting list
